In this video I get stuck into a simple question that loads of people ask: why buy gold? I talk through the main reasons I personally like having gold in my stack, and why it sits alongside my silver. For me it’s not about getting rich quick — it’s about owning something real, outside the system, that’s easy to recognise and easy to sell when you need to. I also touch on the wider landscape people compare it to, like crypto (Bitcoin and Kaspa), and why gold still has a place even if you like other assets. I also remind you that buying bullion isn’t magic — you’ve still got to do your own due diligence, especially in the UK where premiums, VAT rules, and dealer choice can make a big difference. One of the biggest practical takeaways is verification: if you’re going to buy gold, you want to be confident it’s genuine. That’s why I mention using a Sigma Metalytics machine, because testing your metals properly is part of stacking sensibly over time. As always, none of this is financial advice — it’s just what I’ve learned building my stack.
